Op one thing you should know is that Buhari ruled during the military regime and what do you think he should be soft on naija. Yes he should rule our generation again so we can how truly it's be done. Not bribing our way through everything. How I wish I can upload some vid here.

And the only person that can do this job is buhari? If this Is what you are saying then apc do not deserve it as a tree can't make a forest

bitterpenis:
I'll rather have him at the helm of affairs of the country rather than the insensitive, clueless, wicked GEJ

Shame on you, so apc is only interested in removing jonathan at all cost?

Apc is simply telling us, all the. People in the party are corrupt except buhari, if something happens to Buhari today ( God forbid ) will that be the end of apc govt.? Won't someone do the job?

Seriously not everyone who do not accept buhari wants jonathan, I don't want either of them. Apc got people that can do this job for christ sake, removing jonathan to install another incompetent old general is like walking in cycle, the world will be laughing at us. What happens to Fashola, Adams, Utomi, even El rufai.

Having a large follower should not be a criteria in selecting the president of a country, the fact that buhari can't use his large followers to campaign for a younger candidate means he's desperate, selfish and have a hidden agenda.

Jonathan is incompetent, replacing him with another tired incompetent man is big joke.

Gbawe:
Damn !!! This nigger is in serious ethnocentric pain. Hate the Yorubas all you want but we are going nowhere and will continue to play our pragmatically independent and productive part in the search for the progress and development of Nigeria. Your foul-mouthed and bigoted tirade is nothing but a sad reflection of your backward, ill-exposed and underdeveloped mind. Like the poster above me said, "go and die".

Taniyen?

Exactly what I've been trying to sink into the partitioned brain of those apc cretins and buhari almajiris

Jonathan and the old general is not fit to rule Nigeria.

bashydemy:
80% of South Westerner see Edo State as member of the Omo Oduduwa... my take on this.

Your omo odudu whatever should be in northern Nigeria and not Edo, you have too many similarities with ab0kis so go look for your members there

barcanista:
The Bastard has become a twitter troll

You are right, almost becoming hell rufai

Musiwa you are a liar, tinubu is the emperor of western nigeria, iyou are not yoruba, tinubu will arrest you

ChukuHD:
you r not from Niger-Delta

Minister of Niger-Delta, how do you know people from there?

onatisi:
the major difference which I have noticed between pdp members and apc members on nairaland is that, pdp members always present their cases in a logical,reasonable and articulate manner which is most often devoid of insults and abuse. On the other hand most apc followers don't even know what to discuss or the points to bring out. They just clumsily bungle up everything although someone always stands out and I always respect that person (berem),this poster makes her points and if you let her see reason she will agree. But the rest are just a bunch of political touts .

What a joke, which berem? Maybe I'm new here, I give it to obiageli though she's been disappointing me lately, another is banicansta, the guy seems reasonable at times.

I once pointed out Lagos state has not been able to give lagosians water after 16 years, illungunboy said he's lived in different places in lagos and all get water from lagos state water board, I was surprised so many apc nairalanders agree to that

OAM4J:
Buhari has a cattle farm. He is content with the income from the farm and his pension.

Even the holy book says 'godliness with contentment is a great gain' and that 'a good name is better than gold (riches)'.

At this stage of our national life, we don't need greedy people who are accumulating billions they cannot spend in their lifetime, which they think they will use to better the life of their children and grand children not knowing they are destroying the lives of those children by not teaching them the dignity of labour and hard work.

We need someone to inspire our youth to simple godly living with respect and honour. Not all these corrupt people that are teaching our future generations how steal billions and get away, those to whom stealing is not corruption.

Okay, I'm just hearing this for the first time.

But again, how was he able to persecute 3 elections, pension and money from cattle farm?

CyberWolf:
Yes you have a point there and also the salary and allowance of the executive and legislators will be in the constitution and it will be reduced to the barest minimum..If we make government unattractive, then we will have honest and sincere people going there..

Exactly. The blank check given to governors on how much to be paid and other bogus allowance should be checked. example past kano state governor and the present

WhiteTechnology:
Thank you for asking

In short you are wise.

Lets start

Why do Nigerians blame corruption.? Because they believe it has deprive them access to good things of life.

But one question people failed to ask themselves is , WHY DIDNT THIS SAME CORRUPTION INFLICT THIS SAME DISASTER BEFORE THE FIRST COUP.

Was it that our founding fathers were holy.? To me the answer is no.

After the promulgation and retention of the unitary system, Nigeria lost complete focus.

Before the first coup, every region had to survive on their own. This made it necessary for the regional elites to develop their regions' economically, politically, socially etc if they are to gain anything meaningful from their regions.

In the process of doing this, it affected their people positively because the developed resources eg land, mineral resources, agriculture, industries , urbanization etc are connected to /or gotten from their people.


Let me use a simple scenario to explain

Awo wants to be a great leader. He realises that he needs wealth to acquire more power. The region he governs is not wealthy to provide him such power but he realises that he can execute policies that can enrich his region giving him access to more wealth and indirectly more power.


MY FRIEND IF YOU ARE AWO WHAT WILL YOU DO.?


Now don't forget what I said earlier that the resources needed by Awo to make Western region wealthy in order to use this wealth to acquire more power is in the possession of his people.

What are these resources .? Land, people, mineral resources, agriculture, industries etc.


But today, leaders are not forced by circumstances to develop their regions into wealthy regions if they seek more power through wealth for themselves or their people because of availability of free Abuja money.

What has this caused.? Underdevelopment .


So my brother restructuring Nigeria is more important than fighting corrupt people.

Buhari will die someday but corrupt people will never cease to exist . But a restructured Nigeria can limit their impact.

Thank you.

Ride on bro, you damn right. We need resource control

onatisi:
looking at both candidates ,gej still poses to be the better candidate. Because it seems the opposition has no clearcut road map in tackling nigeria issues ,although they seem to be very very good in casting insults and abuses at peoples . But nigerians aren't fools,if the opposition has no road map to solving nigeria problems and they want to get there before thinking of what to do,then they are simply not worth voting for. And secondly if they can't present their plans for nigeria to nigerians to evaluate and see the difference between them and pdp then, they have wasted nigerians trust in them. If their plans isn't different from what gej is doing ,then there is no point even thinking about them.

One of their disciple here told me few days ago, the reason apc won't present lay out their plans on how to tackle Nigeria's problem so the ruling party won't steal the idea.

Welcome to new Nigeria

Demdem:
It's time for the curse currently occupying Aso rock to vacate it.

Lol. Junky

urhoboman:
are you voting for PDP or Jonathan? I was a die hard fan of PDP, i voted for jonah and he showed us hw incompetent he is. Vote GMB not APC.

I'm not voting PDP or Jonathan, I can't see how your GMB is more competent than Jonathan going by the recent interview on channels. Thought there will be something new by now after 4 years. He has no regret for the atrocity he committed as Head of state.

" Apart from changing to a dinner suit, General Buhari, has not changed the tired ideas and provocative utterances that Nigerians rejected in previous election"

ruffp:
1. Did u know that it was the northerners that collectively decided to handover power to a southerner( obasanjo) in 1999? U clearly dont know....fyi, they sponsored Obj who was as broke as i am now n practically gave him power. Based on that....d same PDP-whose founding fathers where mainly northeners and southerners (with loyalties to the north) decided on rotational presidency. 2terms of 4yrs to the north and same for the south. As far as the agreement was concerned,nigeria was beginning afresh on a clean slate(democratically). Now obj finished the 8yrs for the south without any hassle and handed over to the north(yar'adua) who sadly died b4 the completion of the 8yrs assigned to the north.....and ur clueless brother came up and the rest is history. Now based on the foregoing do u still think the northerner is how u perceive him to be? If they are so power-drunk they probably wouldnt have handed Obj power on a platter would dey? Infact it is the power-drunkeness of ur SS brother that led us to this point cuz if he had a nationalistic view of the presidency he shd have completed yar'adua's 1st term and ensured that he put in place the machinery for a free,fair and credible election with the view that power should go bac to the north so that they can complete the 2nd part of yar'adua's administration which was trucated.

What is he saying?

Okay, now people are getting to see the hypocrisy of this party.

django1:
Why should they tell you? If you can't do it on your own using your own brain why don't you step aside for those who can? You've been there for several years, no improvement no nothing, yet you want to collect "orijo" of good governance? Craze dey worry you.

You must think the discussion is about amala or ewedu, please stfu

1wolex85:
Are you saying all the funds candidates spend during campaign come from their pockets?

Are you saying candidates rely solely on sponsorship for election?

1wolex85:
I hope you know speaking at different fora and earning honorarium is a business in itself? Nigerians struggle to understand the intangible, that is why I will never understand it when people describe a particular tribe as the best business oriented people. For Nigerians, once they can't see it, it's not business.
Between, who said anything about him managing the economy? I for one doesn't think he has the capacity to do it but he will only be accountable not responsible for the economy if he becomes president

Kindly tell us the businesses gej has, remember this is a man that has refused to declare his assets. Also remember he is a zoologist, pray, tell us how he is 'managing the economy'

Oye buhari followers, kindly stop mentioning GEJ anytime a question about buhari is being discussed, its senseless and stupid and shows you got nothing to counter the arguments. Stop giving me that crap as I don't even support Jonathan nor will I be voting for him either, I've said so several times on this forum.

And about buhari not responsible for the economy, are you by any means insinuating we are about voting in a committee or adviser president who will rely on sycophants and party members to make decision?

Damn you bro, we don't need such a man at this age, not someone who want to stabilize the prize of crude oil as if he has the power

jmaine:
He actually benefited from the loots of the Abachas before switching camp to Tinubu loots . . . . . Buhari anti corruption stance can only be ingested by his gullible fans . . . .

I still maintain he is not corrupt since no corruption cases against him, but we need to know the source of his income. This can't be retirement money

double0seven:
^^^^^^^^^^



the above argument of "brownlord" and postulation is so daft, that it's dafter than daft....yet he keeps on repeating it everywhere...as if Buhari has never being in position of power and authority before.

Your point?

obailala:
..and what makes you feel he doesn't have those little businesses and other standard things you have mentioned?... He lives in a nice house in a high brow area of Kaduna, he's from katsina and I'm sure he must have a house in his home town. His military pension and benefits as a past head of state is also enough for him to live a modest comfortable life and he has chosen to do so.

Simply because he has chosen a modest life instead of the flamboyant lifestyle of typical African past leaders, some homosapiens now consider him a clueless ediot?... With such reasoning abound and we still wonder why Africa is the dark continent

Buharicansta and other of his almajiris here have repeatedly said he has no other source of income apart from pension as military man and other benefit as past head of state.

Are you saying the man was able to persecute three (3) election with his retirement money or there are businesses he owns that we don't know about?

obailala:
In your typical Nigerian depraved mind, your definition of a good thinker who planned his retirement is someone who owns houses in all cities of the world and has billions littered in his account right?... Have you ever thought of the possibility of a person preferring a modest life?

Who told you he does not own the house he presently lives in?... Who told you he doesn't have just enough money to feed himself and cater for his family?... Isn't it strange that we as Nigerians (and by extension all Africans) have the worst set of yardsticks we use to measure success and yet we wonder why Africa still remains the dark continent?

A retired general

Former head of state

Ptf chairman, do not have any single business, not even a pure water factory as you people want us to believe. How can such a man manage our economy?

No one is asking him to own a university or big businesses like other corrupt politicians, but investing or having any traceable business after holding those key positions tells about his thinking ability

Either the man is clueless for never investing after retirement or he's hiding something period. You can't tell me he contested three (3) elections with donations from friends and family members

onatisi:
nigeria democracy has got to move beyond the point of voters asking aspirants what you intend to do without asking how he or she intends to do it. I will give 3 examples. I was in ghana during their last presidential elections and the ndc candidate nana ado dankwa was campaigning on the promise of giving ghanians free education to ssce level,many ppl swallowed the hook. But president mahaman ,told ghanians that they should ask nana how he intends to fund the free education that for his own administration what he will give is quality education at an affordable price. When nana was asked how he intends to fund the programme he couldn't come up with a workable programme. In 1999 ,when obj took over office prof graham douglas promised nigerian 3million jobs withing 3 years,by the end of the second year he told nigerians he never promised that and that the figure wasn't possible. I was at eagles square when obj was sworn in and I heard it when he promise adequate fuel supply and running refineries within 12month.prof sam aluko later visited him in aso rock and asked him how he intends to accomplish that,obj didn't have a clue. All these examples is to show that politicians can promise anything to win votes and elections it is up to the people to start asking them what plans do they have and HOW they intend to accomplish it. If a politician makes a promise and says he won't tell the people how he intends to accomplish it ,then it simply means he has no plan.

You absolutely right, apc will end insurgency within one month if voted for, without telling us how they intend to, they will fight corruption without telling us how they intend to, bearing in mind one of the company's ceo himself defines corruption. Amaechi was quoted saying he came with money to match atkiku dollar for dollar in the just concluded convention, no one is asking questions.

The more you look, the less you see is the perfect definition of Nigeria politics

huptin:
Please Buhari pick Amaechi as your vice and have my vote.

I doubt if amaechi can pull vote outside of Rivers, fash would be better, if not for the muslim/muslim, I think Oshio can give the old general some vote. my opinion, though I won't vote even if he picks obama as running mate

Nice one.

slightlyMad:
Is america our colonial master?

and why drag US into this?

because they refused to sell you arms?

arggh! Jonathan will never learn, Politics 101 reads, there are no permanent enemies
last week, it was America wanted us to withdraw from the north
this week, another dirty story.

common sense should tell you this was gotten or maybe sold to the US by our colonial masters.
OBJ was right afterall
Pls we need this guy off already, his IQ is too low.

Pure nonsense. You are really slightly mad

falconey:
OP ......are you saying BUHARI killed them? And you mentioned foreigners too, please find a better critizism like stealing,increase in oil price etc. Ofcourse there is NONE!

Read the post again, but slowly.


@post. I'm sure not voting this old general or the pdp
